BIG SKY – The folks at Hammond<br />
Property Management are on call 24<br />
hours a day, seven days a week. If a<br />
homeowner has a power outage or a<br />
leak at 3 a.m., someone from Hammond<br />
responds.<br />
“We live here for <strong>the</strong> lifestyle and want<br />
each of our customers to come here to<br />
enjoy that lifestyle,” says owner Scott<br />
Hammond.<br />
The company’s two areas of focus are<br />
home management and homeowner<br />
association management. “I’m proud of<br />
that, because I think we’re able to deliver<br />
better service because we specialize,”<br />
Hammond said.<br />
Hammond opened <strong>the</strong> business in 1997<br />
with one homeowner and a few longterm<br />
rentals. He credits long term relationships<br />
as <strong>the</strong> keystone to his success:<br />
That first client is still with him today,<br />
and his first employee, hired in 2001, is<br />
also still with <strong>the</strong> company.<br />
“In a high turnover resort town with<br />
lots of opportunities for people to move<br />
around and change positions and jobs,<br />
and all <strong>the</strong> new property management<br />
companies that have popped up in<br />
<strong>the</strong> last 5-10 years, to keep those long<br />
term relationships with customers and<br />
employees is really what this business is<br />
all about.”<br />
Today, his company manages 20 condominium<br />
associations and about 175<br />
homes.<br />
The latter are mainly security check<br />
clients, which means Hammond checks<br />
on <strong>the</strong>ir homes once a week, and also<br />
does housekeeping, landscaping, snow<br />
removal and o<strong>the</strong>r contracted services.<br />

Hammond strives to do most maintenance<br />
work in-house, and has on staff a<br />
licensed plumber, a licensed pool operator,<br />
two licensed property managers,<br />
plus seasonal landscaping, gardening<br />
and snow removal crews.<br />
“We tailor our services to your needs<br />
[and] treat your home as if it were our<br />
own,” Hammond says.<br />
This kind of service has given <strong>the</strong><br />
company a good reputation. Typically,<br />
it adds three to five new security check<br />
clients each year, but <strong>the</strong> past couple<br />
years have been particularly good for<br />
business. Since summer 2011, Ham-<br />
